China sourcing

Need goods shipped from China? We handle it.

We already work across both markets. If you are buying from Chinese suppliers and want someone on the ground who speaks to them directly, talk to us.

Why we can help with this

Our studio runs across South Africa and China, which started as a way to cover longer working hours. In practice it means we already deal with Chinese suppliers, factories and freight agents week to week. If you are importing and want someone on that side who answers your messages, that is a service we can offer alongside the digital work.

  • Finding and vetting suppliers
  • Talking to factories on your behalf
  • Consolidating orders before they ship
  • Arranging freight to South Africa

Who this suits

Mostly small retailers and online stores buying stock in modest volumes — the businesses too small for a dedicated import agent but large enough that mistakes hurt. If you have found a supplier on Alibaba and are not sure whether to trust them, that is exactly the moment to call us.

How to start

Send us what you are trying to buy, roughly how much of it, and where you are based. We will tell you honestly whether we can help, what it would cost, and how long it takes. If it is outside what we handle, we will say so rather than take the job and learn on your money.

Common questions

Do you handle customs clearance?
We work with licensed clearing agents rather than clearing goods ourselves. Import duties, VAT and any product approvals remain your responsibility as the importer, and we will point you at the right people early rather than late.
What size orders do you work with?
Smaller consignments, typically for retailers and online stores buying stock. If you are moving full containers regularly, a dedicated freight forwarder will serve you better and we will say so.
Is this separate from your web design work?
Yes, it is a separate service, though plenty of clients use both — we build the online store and help stock it. Either works on its own.

Tell us what you are building.

Domain, hosting, SSL and a design that makes the right first impression — handled by one team, in Pretoria and in China.
